Description i know this may fall under the cleche catigory

but to me this isnt a cleche
this isnt an 'emo kid' thing
or a fad

this is really real to me because i used to be a cutter
grantid it was a wile ago but still i became physically addicted to it and after a wile it was dangerious for me.

it wasnt untill recently did my ghost come back though, when i first started i would listen to music to go along with what i was doing and since i've stopped i havent really gone back and listend to it untill one of my friends played it in the car and whent on about how the person who sang this particular song whent through a lot and in live concerts it was hard to sing the song
and how stuff like that never really gets out of you.
and thats true

a lot of kids out their cut themselves, some for attention, but thoughs one you find pretty fast
the kids who do have some serious problems, they get picked on at school, they've been abused, they've been replaced in a sence, or they lost something. they're outsiders and are alone and its very hard to get past it.

me, i've been an outsider almost my whole life, i take pride in it now but i used to not. i got picked on by girls in my school and i even lived in a neighborhood where i was afraid to play outside cz the kids would beat me up or throw stuff at me, i have physical scars from thoughs kids still today i know its a sad story but it happens to a lot of people.

and the 'normal' kids wounder why they hate the world huh?

it maked me think there was something wrong with me, and i met this girl who cut herself so she introduced me to the idea, and we used to do it together. but after a wile it got worse. id be home alone and back then i hated being alone. it went from my stomach to my fore arms to my wrists, and i would do it till i was so close to passing out.

once i started to run out of room on my body i stoped and assesed my situation, this was going to go on untill i couldnt anymore and thats when i realized, i didnt want to die.
so
i tried quitting. and thats was way easyer said than done.
so i would tell my friends so they would get dissapointed so i wouldnt want to do it anymore cz i didnt want to disapoint my new friends. i was lucky to have them. extreemly. after 3 cold turky attmpts i did it. it was really hard. but i did it and im extreemly greatful for it.

but
it's still a struggle some days. even 4 years later.

i tell my story because its important
i think the cutting thing has been so stereo typed to 'emo kids' that it gets dissmissed as an 'attention whore' thing.

some people really have shit going on.
so
instead of makeing fun of them for cutting
or beling like 'omg they leik totaly cut you guys'
be their firend
help em out

they really need it

I became addicted to it when I was depressed. Even after that I kept cutting... The adrenaline feels so damn good. Now I don't do it anymore <3.

i dont think you're being mean saying that. i mean cutting is just assosiated to 'mental illnesses' like depression and stuff so its just looked at as negative.
and i mean its obvious if its kept as a habbit you have to be careful on where and how hard its done and stuff

its just intresting you dont have a reason?
but i suppose if you're going to be physically addicted to anything its better its that then drugs

my point with this was really to stop the stereo type, because its conterproductive to turn cutting into a label

ohh ok yeah...well....im not sure if i do suffer from mild depression or not yet....but there deffinatly is something there.
an yes i know i have to stop on my arms for now becoues my friends said it was to noticable...so um i kinda moved on to my leg
still i know its bad and i should stop
and yeah i know thats true.
i don't wanna be addicted to drugs
but this is pretty bad too....like if it gets worse...um...things might not be very good
like...my one friend..he does it too..but hes getting help..and he says that i should too.....
and yes i don't like being labled....i already am...and you get labled over the stupidest things
like when i dyed my hair black...everyone just assumed i was "emo"
deffinatly do not like that at all

i dont think there's really a way to know if you suffer from depression.
i never did my legs tho, its stung too much for me.

i mean im not pushing you to do it like im sure others might have
but i mean whats the harm in looking for a little help?

it kinda sucks to bein a habbit like that all on your own for a wile doesnt it?

AdeoDeLuna In reply to Darkness76 [2009-05-13 00:57:39 +0000 UTC]

um i don't think its deppression...but its worse than just normal sadness
yeah they do sting a little...and sometimes they get really itchy for some od reason...
but i did!! yesterday i asked told my mom....
it was reallly reallly hard..and i don't know if i did the right thing or not...but well its a step right
and yah i know...at first i thought it would go away...but its just been getting worse

Darkness76 In reply to AdeoDeLuna [2009-05-13 01:34:03 +0000 UTC]

yeah
well you are certainly braver than me
i never told my parents even tho sometimes still today i would like to even tho it was a long time ago

i don't know i think the more you let people into that whole habbit and part of your life you see how they react and how it affects them.

i did that with my friends after the first time i passed out for like a half hour, i knew i wouldnt be able to stop on my own so i told a few friends about it and they were really concerned. so then after a wile i felt kind of guilty i was scaring them so bad with my habbit. and it just gave me the strength to stop. and the will power to give them my razor blades so i wouldnt have immidiate access to something like that.
it was really hard to get over, but i wanted to stop, i would feel bad every time i did that bt i was addicted to it.
it took me almost 6 months to stop. cold turky was hard but with the right support and strength its a little easyer.

but im glad you reached out. you say its a step but telling your mom is a huge one.
i admire your bravery :]

AdeoDeLuna In reply to Darkness76 [2009-05-13 01:49:31 +0000 UTC]

oh wow..i think that takes bravery too....telling your friends
i told mine already...but one of them used to do it..and stoped...and the other one..hes going throught the same thing that i am right now. so it was kinda thanks to him that i told my mom.
its kinda hard to explain...but its one of those friendships where u need them but at the sametime they also drag you down with them...i wish i could remember the words he used...but anyways...we were really scared..casue we don't even know why or how we became friends...and we were starting to wonder if this was why
but anyways hes basically why i told my mom...casue i didnt want anything to happen to either of us...
wow i get off topic really easily
but thats why i was scared...i didnt want to get to the point where my parents found me passed out in my room.....
but like..u stoped cold turkey...that must have been very hard for you
so u think i might be brave..but i think your very brave too

i dont know i think saying something is harder than doing things sometimes
and yeah i had a friend like that too, she was into cutting and after a wile i got into it too, it was a thing we would to with eachother so wile i fit in with her, i was being dragged down too.

but i mean its so nice to go through it with someone else too rather than on your own.
she didn't quite when i did, and she continued a long time after [wich sometimes made it so much harder to stop]

and really i dont know how else i would have stopped, i guess gradually less and less till none i guess but cold turky was really the only way i felt it could be done.

it'll be intresting to see what happend now that you've told your mom.
i never told mine and i really dont know what she would have done, and sometimes i want to tell her but i feel it was so long ago there's no reaosn to.
i donno

i was gonna stop...and then like...when i got older eventually tell them....like really older
but idk...im interested too...so far nothing really changed or anything
but yeah he stoped too....i think...for now
cause i think i was the one who draged him down too
so now that im trying to stop maybe he'll do it too

*hugs and cuddles* I loves you darling! I'm glad you made it out ok.

I was picked on a lot when I was little too. It's a difficult situation to handle. I still hate being alone. More than anything. Especially now that I have insomnia. Sitting in this dorm until 4 in the morning with no one to talk to and nothing to keep my mind occupied, it makes your mind wander to dark places.

I'm just really happy you were strong enough to fix your problem. I don't want to see you go, babe.

Darkness76 In reply to tormathepyro [2009-05-05 13:29:13 +0000 UTC]

well im not going ANYWHERE >]
so dont you worry

and plus all of that was like 5+ years ago

its just intresting what triggers the mind huh?

and i like being alone i dont know what it is. i think ppl are so busy and feel rushed cz their constantly juggling appointements to go see others. i do that but then i just hang out bymyself :]

I know how you feel, I was emotionally abused and I have seen so many things that most kids under 10 today could never imagine seeing and I started the SI at the age of 8 and didnt quit until a couple years ago.

I seriously hate how it became the ultimate thing when people think of 'emo' -.- It's quite aggravating.

I think it had something to do with Hawthorne Heights' song "Ohio is for Lovers"... I dunno... o.0 Either way, it's dumb.

I'm glad you are out of it as well, stay strong.
